GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Tapanui Settlement, which was formerly known as
“Brooksdale,” the property of Mr. George Stuart, is situated
in a very good agricultural district, where dairying, cropping,
sheep-farming, and fattening are successfully carried on.
Splendid access. Practically all level land, or on a gentle
slope lying well to the sun. Mostly good sharp soil, and the
whole area is capable of much improvement. Responds well
to topdressing and manuring; is clear of rabbits. Good
water-supply. Thus making for very good sheep and cattle
country, while splendid root and cereal crops can be grown.

General, this 21st day of June, 1930.
